Images disappear

  I hope somebody can help with this. On my last few posts, I’m seeing a strange thing with images. They look fine on the blog home page, but if you open the page for the post itself the image disappears. All you see is a blank space where the image should be.

  The blog is here:
  http://splicehere.wordpress.com

  If you click on the title of the first post (http://splicehere.wordpress.com/2009/12/12/final-cut-user-group-videos/), you discover that the image that went with the post is missing. And the URL for that image is different than it is for the same post in the main blog page.

  On the blog the image URL is this:
  http://splicehere.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/lafcpug_2a.png

  But on the permalink, the link for the same image changes to this:
  http://splicehere.wordpress.com/2009/12/12/files/2009/12/lafcpug_2a.png

  Anybody know why the URL changes?

  Thanks very much for any light anybody can shed.

  Steve

  That is strange indeed. My suggestion would be to contact staff directly on this as it is something that is happening in the back end. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  Thanks for responding. I thought it was pretty weird, too. I just now converted the image from png to jpg and now it works. And the URL for the image no longer changes.

  Strange. I’ll try contacting support.

  Thanks again.
